Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), also known as "sticker" price, is a recommended selling price that automakers give a new car that is above the invoice price paid by the dealer. It is a price that does not include any options that can be added to a particular car style. When shown as a range, the prices are starting MSRPs, without options, for multiple styles for that model.

This price range reflects for-sale prices on Cars.com for this particular make, model and year.

These city and highway gas mileage estimates are for the model's standard trim configurations. Where there are optional features, packages or equipment that result in higher gas mileage, those fuel-economy estimates are not included here.

Very good but getting old

by mjosh51 from Los Angeles | October 30, 2011

My mom gave me this car when she bought a 4runner. Its a very great car. Its been running for the last ten years. I did the regular maintenance such as oil changes, change the shocks, tune ups, and etc. It isn't fuel efficient. In the city I would get about 25 mpg and on the highway about 29 mpg. However, the biggest thing that my dad had to fix was the transmission. About four months the transmission went out on the freeway which was a very frightening moment. Luckily there were no cars behind me. After the transmission went out, my dad had to pay $600 to fix it. After the transmission fix, the car wasn't the same anymore. It doesn't handle like I had wanted it. I think the older it gets, the more problems it will have. I am thinking of selling it and getting a newer Corolla or a Prius. Those cars are more fuel efficient and will last me a lifetime.

Good

I bought this little car about two and a half years ago so that I could deliver pizza and take my long commute to college daily. On the interstate it can kick out over 30 mpg. I got it at 160k miles now it has over 232K. The only repair it needed was getting a new cv axle but that is just twenty years of hard driving.

Reliability and Inexpensive

by daehdaed from Spokane, WA | November 28, 2007

Bought this car (wagon style) to teach the kids how to drive, and to haul lumber from the hardware store in. Handles like a charm in the snow here in the northwest. Great gas mileage, great heater, great handling, great performance. Would definately purchase another so that both the kids could have their own when they earn their license.

MY FIRST CAR

by lucky teenager with a reliable car from montana | November 8, 2007

this was and is my first car. i bought it for $500 with some pretty bad rust. it has lasted me through one montana winter soon to be two. it's very reliable and i would recommend it to anyone. my only problem is the rust. my car is very close to dragging on the highway. but in contrast it has great air conditioning and a great heater. it has over 200,000 miles on it and i'm planning on putting more on.

my first car

by texas king from San Antonio, Tx | April 28, 2007

This was the first car i ever owned. when i purchased the vehicle it was already pretty old but i needed something to get around in. it may not be the best looking car out there but it does run. it gets great gas milage (especially with the way gas is now.) i got rid of it at 175,000 miles, about 75,000 were put on driving like the average teenage male, and i never had any prolems with it, save that the a/c was sometimes too cold (and thats here in texas). i would recomend it to any one that needs an inexpensive car and doesnt really care too much about looks.
